Blue Ribbon for Prostrate Cancer Tag - CTMH RibbonWarrior

Made this for my hubby who started radiation treatment for Prostrate Cancer, will be 1/4 way thru treatment (# treatments is 44) next wk. No side affects. Googled and found that the ribbon is light blue color which is appropriate since pink is used for Breast Cancer for women.

Die-Namics: die - Tag Stax

HayThere from TX Platform Pop-Up Card - LawnFawn PlatformPopUp HayThereHatsOffToYou QuinnsCapitalABCs

Made this mostly with Lawn Fawn items.















TX is known for ranches. One of the famous ranches is Southfork used in the Dallas tv show. Located not in Dallas, TX but in Parker, TX which is 27.5 miles NE of Dallas. Tours are offered. Company I use to work for held a bbq on the grounds. Took horseback trail riding and one of the trail trips was to Southfork. A memory from that trail ride does not involve the Southfork Ranch but instead the return trip to the stables. After we arrived at Southfork, our instructor told us that the horses know their way back and some may wish to gallop back faster than others. My horse, Diablo, was the one that took off with me holding on and I managed to stay on the entire ride back. Sad news though, the next time of trail riding I was told my horse, Diablo, had died of cholic.

I crocheted the horse for daughter when she was younger.

He started radiation last wk, goes Mon-Fri same time (some times differ if they change), treatment is 10 mins for 44 weeks (typical # treatments is 44). No side effects. Hubby did jokingly mention he may glow in the dark. Please get your health checked. Met the 2 nurses on staff. Picture of radiation machine which is massive.
